README

A core for rendering views in PHP applications.

The package itself doesn't contain any engines; they are included in separate packages:

• codemonster-ru/view-php - PHP templates
• codemonster-ru/view-ssr - SSR for Vue/React
• (future) Twig, Blade, and others

Installation

composer require codemonster-ru/view

Usage

use Codemonster\View\View;
use Codemonster\View\Locator\DefaultLocator;
use Codemonster\View\Engines\PhpEngine; // package: codemonster-ru/view-php

$locator = new DefaultLocator([__DIR__ . '/resources/views']); // can be an array of paths
$engine  = new PhpEngine($locator, 'php'); // default extension: php

$view = new View(['php' => $engine], 'php');

// Render template
echo $view->render('emails.welcome', ['user' => 'Vasya']);
// Looks for: resources/views/emails/welcome.php

// Access the locator of the default engine (added in v2.2.0)
$defaultLocator = $view->getLocator();
$defaultLocator->addPath(__DIR__ . '/vendor/package/views');

// Register namespaced view paths (added in v2.3.0)
$view->addNamespace('admin', __DIR__ . '/resources/views/admin');
echo $view->render('admin::dashboard', ['user' => 'Vasya']);

Features

• Engine-agnostic core
• Support for multiple engines (PhpEngine, SsrEngine, TwigEngine, etc.)
• Unified EngineInterface interface
• Easy integration with frameworks (e.g., Annabel)

Testing

You can run tests with the command:
